Published: October 2018

Highly permeable pocket-shaped microfiltration membranes with binary porous structures, which are composed of brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO), were prepared on needles by breath figure (BF) and colloidal crystal template (CCT) methods. In colloidal crystal templates, the membrane pore size in the bottom layer was adjusted by SiO2 microsphere diameter in the colloidal crystal template, while that in the top layer was adjusted by changing the BPPO concentration. The permeability of the binary porous membrane prepared by BF and CCT methods was higher than that of membranes only prepared by the BF method. Due to high permeability and antifouling properties, the pocket shaped binary porous membrane was connected to a syringe and used as a filter film in microfiltration and sample preparation fields.

Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are a new class of highly porous crystalline substances which have demonstrated excellent potential as novel adsorbents for efficient depollution of pharmaceutical compounds from wastewater. Herein, the molecular mechanism involved in the removal process of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug residues, Ibuprofen (IBP) and Naproxen (NPX), from polluted water by an emerging novel COF functionalized with vinyl groups (COF-V), is evaluated through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations under various external electric fields (EFs). MD analyses show that COF-V is efficient in drug loading capacity of % 100 with total interaction energy value of -519.

Significant advances have been made in the preparation and application of luminescent hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) in recent years. These materials exhibit unique structural flexibility in accommodating guest molecules, rendering them promising candidates for dynamic applications. Herein, a 2D HOF material is presented, constructed by the binary assembly of 5,5'-bis(azanediyl)oxalyl diisophthalic acid and tetra(pyrid-4-ylphenyl)ethylene to achieve dynamic circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with the aid of chiral guests.

The influence of solvent mixtures on electrospinning polymer solutions plays a crucial role in both the electrospinning process and the characteristics of the resulting fibers. Solvents with varying properties can be used to optimize thermodynamic stability, viscosity, evaporation rate, and dielectric constant of a solution simultaneously. This study investigates the fabrication of highly porous poly-2,6-diphenyl-p-phenylene oxide (PPPO) fibers via electrospinning from binary and ternary solvent mixtures.

Mobility control of CO is important for effective subsurface utilization and sequestration of anthropogenic CO in depleted formations. This not only enhances oil recovery but also increases CO storage efficiency, addressing a key challenge for a future zero-carbon economy. In this study, novel techniques were developed by injecting CO foam generated with a nonionic-based binary surfactant system to improve geological CO storage and to co-optimize carbon utilization and storage efficiency in high salinity carbonate porous media, based on hypotheses from our previous works.
